She will also throw up partly digested food to feed the pups...in order to divert their attention away from nursing and get them to EAT. She doesn't get mom of the year award! But she does her job as she sees fit.
Another Yorkie gal just recently completed her duty....she slept with her baby for 4 1/2 months...she demanded to sleep with him up until the day he left. Literally threw barking fits to get into his pen...there was no peace.
And another gal. Well she doesn't want to sleep with them past 6 or 7 weeks...but she nurses and cleans their butts for MONTHS. LOL My tiny female was highly insulted that mom was still flipping her over at one year of age...to clean her tush and butt! LOL
They are all different. |
I know you WANT the moms to be perfect little earth mothers but I found this post WAY TOO CUTE....that's a riot - what a smart mamma ! Putting her babies in your LAP so she could cuddle with her human Daddy ? How good he must have felt seeing her do THAT - now that is love !
